Desk top research & planning policy considerations: 1. Any relevant planning policies 2. Is the site allocated for particular use in the Local Plan? 3. Do any Local Plan designations apply to the site? For example: Greenbelt / Public Open Space / Strategic open space / Village confines / extent of settlement Conservation Area / Protected wildlife or habitat / Landscape character area 4. Do any other designations apply? e.g. National Park/AONB/Village Green / Local Green Space 5. Are there any emerging local planning documents with relevant policies or designations? The site is included as a possible location for a garden village under the preferred strategy of the emerging TDC Local Plan. The land is Green Belt The site lies partly (approx. 40%) within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The remainder of the site is classified as an Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV) The site hosts parts of the 153 mile North Downs Way National Trail and the popular Downlands Circular Walk, and is adjacent to two Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) The site borders the Chaldon Conservation Area. Deliverability Starting to think about whether development of the site is deliverable and viable… 2. Suitability - potential constraints on development a. Is there a record of local opinion towards development of the site? There has been a very negative response to this proposal by local residents both vocally and in the media. This has led to the response by Chaldon Parish Council and the production of the following detailed Report on the site and its suitability for development. The Report provides a comprehensive assessment that answers the many questions set out in the normal CR3 template for Site Assessments and it is considered unnecessary to repeat these answers in the template format. The Chaldon Report is therefore included below. Land at Chaldon, Alderstead and Tollsworth Manor (CAT 086) Site Assessment April 2017 Chaldon Village Council 1 Introduction 1. This comprehensive, evidence based assessment is for the Land at Chaldon, Alderstead and Tollsworth Manor farms (CAT 086). The site has a potential yield of 4,000 houses in Tandridge with an unknown additional number in Reigate and Banstead. 2. The site was submitted on 21st December 2016 to Tandridge District Council (TDC) and Reigate & Banstead Borough Council Housing (RBBC) for consideration in the emerging Local Plans. It was then included in the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) for TDC. 3. The very late submission by the landowners, just a few days before the HELAA closed and towards the conclusion of the Regulation 18 Local Plan Site Consultation, has denied the public and statutory bodies an opportunity to comment on the site. 4. On 16 March 2017, Members of the Planning Policy Committee adopted a Preferred Strategy to be followed in the preparation of the Local Plan. That Strategy listed five sites, including the Land at Chaldon, Alderstead and Tollsworth Farm, as possible locations for development of a scale that could accord with the principles of a garden village. 5. There was no communication with statutory bodies, including Chaldon Village Council (CVC), prior to the announcement of this Preferred Strategy. The inclusion of this large tract of land on a list of potential sites for a new garden village without any form of site assessment is regrettable raising considerable fears and uncertainty within the village of Chaldon and nearby parishes. 6. CVC has therefore taken responsibility to carry out a full site assessment considering environmental, economic and social priorities. In addition, we have considered the extraordinary historical significance of the land and its importance to local, regional and national communities. 7. The clear conclusion is a site that is totally unfit for development on the scale envisaged and should be ruled out from further consideration through the Local Plan process for both TDC and RBBC. 2 1. Summary of Findings 1. The site lies partly within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB); it also includes a candidate AONB area. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) is extremely clear that AONBs should be afforded an exceptional level of protection. The presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply. Developing CAT 086 as a garden village would be a flagrant and unprecedented breach of AONB planning legislation. 2. The rest of the site is classed as an Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV). TDC recognises that AGLV land acts as an important buffer to the AONB and has committed to apply AONB protection principles to AGLVs. This in itself should rule out CAT 086 from further consideration. 3. The greenbelt at CAT 086 is effective at providing the purposes outlined in the NPPF. 4. The site hosts parts of the 153 mile North Downs Way National Trail and the popular Downlands Circular Walk, and is adjacent to two Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). 5. Developing CAT 086 would destroy some of the most spectacular landscape views in east Surrey, both from the site southwards over the Weald and northwards towards London, and into the site from the south. 6. The development of CAT 086 would be unsustainable according to all 16 of the criteria in TDC’s own sustainability appraisal, including transport and greenhouse gas emissions. 7. The site supports species and habitats listed in the Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act (2006) as of principle importance for conservation, in addition to providing a habitat corridor between Quarry Hangers and Happy Valley SSSIs. 8. The site is also of enormous importance to Surrey’s historical heritage; development would destroy the setting of three Grade II*-listed manor houses and a Grade I-listed church. The unique Chaldon Stone Quarries would also be jeopardised. 9. Converting viable agricultural land into residential buildings would be a poor use of Tandridge’s natural resources. 10. In conclusion, CAT 086 is manifestly unsuitable for the proposed garden village, and must be excluded from consideration. 3 2. Green belt considerations TDC have indicated that 1% of greenbelt may be released for the Local Plan. However, the summary of Appendix A - Our Local Plan: Preferred Strategy states: The Green Belt boundary would only be amended in locations where the Green Belt purposes are not served, and where exceptional circumstances are demonstrated. CAT 086 cannot be considered “limited Green Belt” and therefore the exceptional circumstance test must fail. The greenbelt within CAT 086 is overwhelmingly effective according to the five functions outlined in Section 9 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF): Ø To check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas The site provides an effective buffer against the suburban sprawl of southern London. TDC’s Greenbelt Assessment (2015) confirms that “the low density and the rural character of [Chaldon] are considered to make a contribution to the openness of the Green Belt.” It is considered that the loss of west Chaldon’s farms would destroy this contribution. Developing the site would effectively extend London’s boundary southwards to the M25; the finger of development that includes Purley and Caterham is currently contained by Chaldon’s countryside. Ø To prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another The site protects Chaldon, Merstham, Hooley and Netherne-on-the-Hill as distinct settlements. Developing the site would result in a merged town that would destroy the unique character of each community. The Greenbelt Assessment (2015) notes that Strategic Area A, which includes western Chaldon, performs a “strong role in containing the urban conurbation of London and the large built up areas in the District and outside”. 4 Ø To assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment It is considered that the site has been highly effective at preventing urbanisation of its countryside, as evidenced by that it is still working farmland bordered by hedgerow-lined roads. It is an exceptionally tranquil location enjoyed by many walkers, cyclists and horse riders.

  • Enc B the Dedication of Existing Pathways
    Crawley Borough Council Report No: AM/049 B Report to Cabinet 16 January 2013 THE DEDICATION OF EXISTING PATHWAYS AS PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY UNDER THE HIGHWAYS ACT 1980 1. Key Points 1.1 The Council has been approached by the Countryside Access Forum for West Sussex about the creation of three Rights of Way and their dedication as formal bridleways under s25 of the Highways Act 1980. 1.2 Section 25 of this Act allows local authorities to enter into an agreement with any person having the necessary power in that behalf for the dedication by that person of a footpath or bridleway over land in their area. 1.3 The pathways will be designated in perpetuity ensuring that the pathways are protected regardless of future land ownership. This would create a more complete formalised network of pathways across the Town ensuring public access is maintained indefinitely. 1.4 Maintenance of the pathway surface in the future will be vested in West Sussex County Council who are equipped with the necessary resources to maintain the pathways in the future. However, Crawley Borough Council would retain responsibility for cutting back vegetation along the pathways. 2. Recommendations 2.1 Members are recommended to:- 1. Agree the dedication of the routes for all three paths in perpetuity as described in paragraph 3 of the report as per the attached plans, subject to West Sussex County Council undertaking the required statutory public consultation exercise. 1 2. Delegate authority to the Head of Legal and Democratic Services to execute permissive path creation agreements in respect of the following pathways namely:- 1.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.
